The Three Pure Ones made their appearance, with an aura full of presence, which pleased Emperor Donghua immensely.

The Three Pure Ones are indeed reliable!

"Apologies for keeping everyone waiting!"

Xuanqing descended from the Nine Dragon Incense Chariot while holding the Jade Ruyi, greeted the Immortals alongside Jing Yao and Yu Chen.

The immortals exchanged pleasantries.

Xuanqing smiled and said, "Dear friends, please wait a moment longer, the two ancestors of the Immortal Dao will soon arrive."

Upon hearing this, the immortals looked forward with eager anticipation, staring towards the sky.

Suddenly.

The sky was adorned with auspicious clouds, with a myriad of celestial auspices manifesting.

Before the immortals' eyes, two unassuming elders appeared.

"We greet the Ancestors of Immortality!" the immortals said in unison,

Hong Jun and Yang Mei, one on the left and one on the right, swayed their dust-whisks, nodding to the immortals: "Greetings to all Daoist friends!"

Just as they finished exchanging greetings, Demon Ancestor Luo Hou arrived.

A vast expanse of demonic clouds loomed in the horizon, with Luo Hou leading a host of Demon Kings and Great Demons descending.

Four out of five kings of the Demon Path had arrived: Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, and Xuanwu.

All dressed in Demon King vests to freeload some food and drinks.

In the troop of Great Demons, the eldest sister of the Demon Sect, Nu Qing, stood on the right, and the eldest brother of the outer sect of Chan Sect, Fu Zhu, on the left.

Behind them were Meng Huai and a group of other Great Demons.

Emperor Donghua twitched at the sight.

Those in the know were aware they had come for the banquet, others might mistake it for a scene crashing.

"Greetings to all Daoist friends!"

The immortals and demons greeted each other, harmoniously mingling as if there were no enmities of life and death between them.

"Daoist friends sure are giving face to our Immortal Dao," said Hong Jun, unable to hide his grin.

Luo Hou straightforwardly said, "I didn't bring this many subordinates for any special reason; mainly thinking of eating my fill and taking some goodies."

"We've already sent the gifts, you won't be stingy during the banquet, will you?"

"Of course not, this banquet will definitely satisfy Daoist friends." Emperor Donghua and the Lady of the Turquoise Pool promptly assured upon hearing this.

The other immortals also felt slightly embarrassed by the blatant candidness of the Demon Ancestor.

"Alright, the appointed time has arrived, let's begin the banquet."

As the host, Emperor Donghua and the Lady of the Turquoise Pool invited the immortals to the feast.

"Daoist friends, please!"

"Please!"

The chariots entered the Heavenly Palace, and the group of immortals returned to the banquet hall.

The Immortal Official announced loudly: "The command of the Immortal Emperor: resume the music and dance!"

"Jadescent Nectar and a hundred delicacies, all immortals are kindly invited to enjoy!"

Instantly, a wondrous fragrance filled the seats, accompanied by an array of celestial flowers and fairy blooms.

Page boys presented wine, fairies sang, Divine Generals danced, and the immortals enjoyed their cups amidst endless joy.

"Purple Patterned Peach?"

On the table of the mighty figures of the Immortal Dao, each Jade Plate held three enormous Flat Peaches.

"The Immortal Medicine, which grants immortality and can resurrect the dead, should have excellent effects; I won't be shy then!" Kunpeng glanced at the Purple Patterned Peach with great delight. In White Jade City, he had traded with the Lady of the Turquoise Pool, but it was for manufactured Immortal Medicine, not the original innate fruit from the Innate Spirit Root that he hadn't tasted yet.

The peaches before their eyes were undoubtedly from the mother Flat Peach tree, not from divided saplings.

"These are the third batch of Innate Ren Water Peaches, with profound innate essence. Just one Purple Patterned Peach can solidify the Dao Foundation of the one who eats it, or even cause later-born beings to invert and become Innate, creating Innate foundations," quietly revealed Nuwa, explaining the origin of the peaches.

This surprised Kunpeng greatly, who commended, "Simply from the shape and aura, one can deduce which batch the fruit is from; Daoist friend's vision is admirable!"

"You must have traveled far on the Life Dao."

He thought Nuwa had reversed-engineered the nature of the peaches from the perspective of the Life Dao.

In reality…

[It's nothing, I've actually eaten one before.] Nuwa knew that Kunpeng had misunderstood but just smiled, without clarifying.

Meng Wuyou and Houtu were also familiar with the peaches on the plate.

They had tasted them as well.

The Taixu Nine Heavens organization came together because of the banquet.

Therefore, every meeting focused on dining and drinking, then sitting together to exchange news, exploring the Primordial, and probing the Great Dao.

It was somewhat like a tea party.

So when it came to eating, these Goddesses probably rivaled the great gourmand Zhen Yuanzi.

Inverted Immortal, Red Cloud, and Ming River also arrived at the venue.

They did not put on any airs, arriving early.

At the banquet, Demon Ancestor Luo Hou, Hong Jun, Yang Mei, and the Six Da Luo from the Three Pure Ones sat in a special area.

Hong Jun, with a smile on his face, looked at Luo Hou and asked, "Daoist friend, do you have any plans for the future?"

"Would I discuss the plans of the Demon Path with you?" Luo Hou rolled his eyes. While the Demon Path is upright and open, that doesn't mean it's foolish.

"I can share with you the situation of our Immortal Dao," said Hong Jun.

Luo Hou glanced at him, "What could you possibly say?"

Hong Jun sipped his Jade Liquid leisurely and said, "Our Immortal Dao now has nine methods of proving the Dao!"

"Oh."

Luo Hou's reaction was indifferent.

"Aren't you surprised?" Yang Mei looked at Luo Hou curiously.

"What's there to be surprised about?" Luo Hou took a bite of the peach,

"I thought your Immortal Dao might have nine Da Luo figures!"

"Uh, that could also be possible," said Hong Jun looking at the Three Pure Ones, feeling like it could be done if they were to randomly compile it from a Heavenly Book.

Luo Hou sneered at Hong Jun's threat: "When your so-called nine proofs of the Dao mature, then come and boast to me."

Who doesn't know who here?

Of course, Luo Hou knew about these nine proofs of the Dao.

Houtu had attended the lectures and brought back first-hand information.

But for now, only the Heavenly Immortals from the Three Pure Ones and the Ghost Immortal from Xuanqing had been verified.

The other Daoist Lords' beautifully made PowerPoints are all good and well, but let's see one of them become a Da Luo!

"Do you want to witness the achievements of our Immortal Dao? Just so you know, it's coming soon."

Hong Jun spoke openly: "I have foreseen the future; the Immortal Dao will surely thrive, and the Demon Path's defeat is inevitable."

Luo Hou laughed, "I, too, have foreseen the future; the Demon Path will prevail across all Heavens, and the Ancestor of the Immortal Dao will die abandoned in the void."

The two Supreme beings confronted each other.

Yang Mei remained silent.

The Three Pure Ones sat on the side, munching on melons and watching the show.

Xuanqing added, "How can you be sure the futures you've seen are true?"

"What if a divine being has fed you false information?"

Whoosh!!

The gazes of both Hong Jun and Luo Hou focused on Xuanqing.

"What are you looking at me for? I'm simply making a hypothesis!"

Xuanqing looked innocent, "We are all Da Luo, can't you discern the false from the true on your own?"

"Just with a bit of discernment, you should know that this definitely isn't my handiwork."

"That's not necessarily true." Hong Jun's eyes sparkled with insight, as He thought back to the scene of Xuanqing's first visit to White Jade City.

He and Yang Mei explored the future, but there were some minor episodes.

"If you ask me, you shouldn't peer into the future if it's not necessary; that thing can be deceiving if you look too much."

Jing Yao Venerable spoke thus, offering caution out of good intentions.

"That's true."

Daoist Lord Yu Chen said, "Which proper divine beings would focus on the future."

"Wielding the sword in the present, one can carve out countless futures."

"As for predicting the future, I never do that."

Unlike the past, which can only be slightly altered.

And unlike the present time-space, which can be freely revised.

In the face of the future, the holy ones are extra cautious.

Because a Da Luo can embrace all things, manifesting as the heavens, theoretically capable of omniscience and omnipotence.

But if a Da Luo manipulates the timeline, they can be omniscient and omnipotent.

What about when a group of Da Luo play with time and space?

Omniscience and omnipotence meeting will inevitably face interference, requiring the separation of the false and preservation of the true.

Even if one continues to study and becomes a senior Da Luo, key heavenly secrets would be obscured by peers of the same level.

What is called strategizing, what is called calculation, is nothing but the Da Luo divinities exerting force in their own domains, influencing the future within a certain fixed timeline, thereby nudging everything towards the direction they desire.

As for how close it can get to that direction, whether it can be swayed by others, it depends on your own means.

In Primordial, there is a determined past, but no fixed future.

Everything must be fought for by oneself.

How to guide the future toward the most probable outcome.

There are two methods.

One is "unity is strength."

Finding like-minded divinities to band together, collectively influencing the future time-space, separating the false and preserving the true.

The other is "to forge iron, one must be strong."

To what extent must you be strong?

You must be capable of gathering myriads, commanding the Great Dao of All Heavens, controlling all vertical and horizontal time-spaces, crushing those "omniscient and omnipotent," and molding all possibilities into a singular outcome.

Become the "truth" at the end of an infinite past, the eternal finale.

If you can reach this step, congratulations, for the throne of the second Pangu of Primordial is yours.

Initially, the Demon Gods who explored the future had different philosophies.

Pangu stood out and said, "I want to create heaven."

Creating heaven and earth was the future he desired.

The Three Thousand Demigods united to say, "No! We will decide our own future!"

They wanted to resist!

Then a great battle ensued.

Pangu, wielding his axe, surrounded the Three Thousand Demigods, chopping out the only outcome.

Thus, Pangu won.

Thus, the Primordial True Realm was born.

Now, the divine beings of Primordial cannot emulate Pangu; this is an ancient feat, incomparable.

They can only band together for warmth, united to carve out the future they desire.

Hence there were various great clans, and many organizations were formed.

Still, everyone aspired to be like Pangu, aiming to be "strong in oneself," so they all took Pangu as their goal.

After all, who wouldn't want to become an Era Terminator with a single chop?

"Today is a feast, let's not talk about these topics of the future, shall we?"

Yang Mei stepped in to make peace, saying, "For the future of the Immortal and Demon Dao, let's rely on our own abilities and strive for it."

"Come, look at the banquet, the Turquoise Pool has carefully prepared a grand musical event!"

Yang Mei called out.

The Turquoise Pool had brought forth its prepared program.

She had meticulously selected dozens of fairies from Kunlun Mountain who specialized in the Dao of Melody, and now they made their formal debut to the anticipation of all the immortals.

Before long, the fairies entered, each holding a musical instrument.

Nuwa blinked her eyes; she saw Xiao Xuan Nu.

Xuan Nu was clad in battle armor, wielding weapons, full of valor.

She also saw a fairy dressed in green, graceful and composed, seemingly the leader of the band.

"She looks familiar, yet I've never met her." Nuwa pondered hard but couldn't fathom the origin of this fairy.

Was there such a Goddess in Kunlun?

Suddenly, the music sounded misty and ethereal, clear and harmonious, engulfing the senses.

The immortals listened, as if basking in the warm sun of a newborn day, touched by the kindness of spring breezes, harmonious and blissfully intoxicated.

Then the drum beats sounded, like thunderous roars, as if the earth was breaking and mountains collapsing; the zither rang loud and clear, weapons clashing, shaking the heavens and the earth; torrents of rivers surged, majestic rivers roared.

The immortals listened, as if placed in the midst of a battlefield, surrounded on all sides, experiencing calamity firsthand.

"Using music to penetrate reason, using music to enter the Dao, it truly frightens me!"

Already many Immortals felt trepidation.

They truly felt as if they were on the battlefield, facing endless calamity.

But the capabilities of the mighty ones elicited exhilaration and soaring spirits.

Compared to their usual feats of courting death, this was but a light affair.

Finally, the music shifted to a flowing spring, the sound of pines in the wind, a relaxing and soft freedom, a carefree ease!

The immortals listened, as if after countless calamities, they enjoyed boundless blessings and fortunes, their bodies and minds untouched by the mundane, their Spiritual Platforms free of Chaos, floating in the void, soaring through Nine Heavens, the vast world theirs to roam...

"Hey? I've had a breakthrough!"

An Immortal exclaimed.

"Me too!"

"After countless calamities, to enjoy boundless blessings, my Spiritual Platform is now utterly serene!"

"This melodic Dao is indeed profound!"

"It's that leading fairy who is formidable; as one who studies the Dao of Melody, I'm like an ant in the presence of Buzhou Mountain."

"What leading fairy?" The immortals were puzzled.

"She was right there, hey?"

An Immortal looked left and right in search of the green-clothed fairy: "Where did the leading fairy go? She left so soon? I wanted to get to know her, what a pity."

"Was there ever a leader in this band?" A companion asked, puzzled.

"She's been there from the beginning! Dressed in green, standing at the very front." The Immortal insisted.

"My Daoist friend, you must be mistaken, there was no leader from the start."

"Right, there was none, at the front were the twelve fairies in Xuan Armor, weren't they?"
